I should be going out with a friend afternoon, but can't get into the garden as the workmen are filling my patio with fibreglass fluff and brick dust from the cavity wall filling
Hot here but in a thundery way now. Sorry lily - I'd already gone to put washing out and go to work when you said good morning to me
Lovely pix John - garden's looking very smart as always. The herb bed is terrific - your new walls set it all off beautifully. My 'Duchess' has at last decided to grace me with her presence so I'll put a pic on at some point. Will have to take a pic of the new geranium renardii I got - which it definitely isn't - it's 'baby' sugary pink. Hope the nursery will change it. Does anyone here have it ? All the pix show it to be white with dark purple veining . I should just have got Kashmir White which I've had before.
I hate to say it, but we could do with some r**n....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

The five-hour rescue operation took place in the Knockmealdowns Mountains, which straddle the border between County Waterford and County Tipperary...."
Ah! don't be fooled Rebecca, its taken 47 years to get my garden where it is today with a lot of mistakes along the way. I'm not a tidy person by & large but OH (Eileen) is so she doesn't let me get away with leaving an untidy mess anywhere!
I used to have a lot of 'disasters' when I was running my own business because things that should have been watered weren't on hot days, spraying plants with liquid fertiliser that had previously been used for weed killer & not washed out properly!!! etc etc. Eileen used to do all our accounts in the business, cook meals, and run the home, so I couldn't expect her to look after the garden as well. Retired now though (just over 3 years ago) and we both have time to work together in the garden + everything else we are involved in.
Fg. I grow renardii and it does have whitish flowers veined with purple. It also has very distinct matt green leaves, unlike all other Geranium leaves.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Rebecca we only put pics of tidy areas on photos well I do.
Clari Dave should be outside all the time, mine have for about 6 weeks come rain storm, plague of frogs etc.. They are tough, don't make them pappy. Not like GH toms. If they have flowers on and no evidence of pollinaters gentle wipe a clean finger from one flower to next, some do paintbrushes but I'm sure that will do it. PM me if any probs.
Thanks doc. I took a pic and unfortunately it looks quite white in that but it's definitely pink 'in the flesh' - and it taunts me every time I go out the back door ! Oh well. If anyone want two of them let me know ...
John - I daren't - it'll forget to go off!
Off to drop daughter off to do her 6th year 'duty' at school. Back later.

Grey and miserable here, guys.
A day weeding, some borders are starting to look like a jungle, half expecting some wild beast to emerge.
Another bunch of sweet peas picked, should keep OH happy.
Enjoy the rest of your days everyone.

FG, Can't you wave that wand of yours and get a precipitation going over Glasgow?
